Categories of Hospital-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: Time Course of Changes in Serum Creatinine Values.
UNLABELLED Hospital-associated acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) is associated with increased inpatient mortality. Our objective was to categorize HA-AKI based on the timing of minimum and peak inpatient serum creatinine (sCr) and describe the association with inpatient mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is a retrospective analysis of an administrative data set for adults admitted to a si...
متن کاملEarly Acute Kidney Injury based on Serum Creatinine or Cystatin C in Intensive Care Unit after Major Trauma
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in critically ill patients and is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recently, serum cystatin C has been shown to be superior to creatinine in early detection of renal function impairment. We compared estimated GFR based on serum cystatin C with estimated GFR based on serum creatinine for early detection of ...
متن کاملHigher serum chloride concentrations are associated with acute kidney injury in unselected critically ill patients
BACKGROUND Chloride administration has been found to be harmful to the kidney in critically ill patients. However the association between plasma chloride concentration and renal function has never been investigated. METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary 24-bed intensive care unit from September 2010 to November 2012. Data on serum chloride for each patient during thei...
متن کاملAcute Kidney Injury Is Common in Pediatric Severe Malaria and Is Associated With Increased Mortality
Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well recognized complication of severe malaria in adults, but the incidence and clinical importance of AKI in pediatric severe malaria (SM) is not well documented. Methods. One hundred eighty children aged 1 to 10 years with SM were enrolled between 2011 and 2013 in Uganda. Kidney function was monitored daily for 4 days using serum creatinine (Cr). A...
متن کاملDialysis in acute kidney injury--more is not better.
Acute kidney injury is associated with morbidity and mortality rates of more than 50% in critical ly ill patients, despite the potential for recovery of renal function and many advances in medical management.1 To manage the care of patients with acute kidney injury, we must optimize their hemodynamic and volume status, correct meta bolic abnormalities, provide adequate nutrition, and minimize...
